Seeing this, he couldn't care too much, Ye Gu quickly closed the door and entered the courtyard of the girl in front of him. But the sword in his hand was not put down, and it was still facing the girl.

"Who are you?" Ye Gu asked, taking two more steps forward.

The girl was clearly frightened, and seemed to regret her decision to open the door. At this moment, facing Ye Gu's sword, she could only say with a slight cry: "I...... My name is Luo Sijie, you ...... Don't kill me. ”

"Luo Sijie, from the Nandu Luo family?" Ye Gu asked. Luo Sijie nodded, and with her nod, coupled with his innocent and almost crying expression, Ye Gu relaxed his vigilance a little, and then, put down the sword in his hand.

"Your Excellency...... I...... I ......" Luo Sijie wanted to say something, but she obviously hadn't recovered from the shock just now, so she naturally seemed very incoherent.

Hearing this, he also realized that the situation was urgent, Ye Gu had to take out the token of the imperial general and ordered Luo Sijie: "I am the general of the imperial capital, and now that there are people outside, you have the obligation to let me into the house." ”

However, Luo Sijie still seemed to be frightened, and she didn't even have time to look closely at Ye Gu's token, so she stumbled open the door of the room, and then sat down on the ground.

Ye Gu didn't think too much about it, after all, the situation was urgent, he rushed into Luo Sijie's house and closed the door with his backhand. At this time, Luo Sijie next to her seemed to think of something, quickly got up from the ground, and locked the door of the house. The door of her house resembles the iron gate commonly used in the residential areas of various cities in the Flame Empire, and Ye Gu does not come to these residential areas very often, so he knows very little.

"Not only should the doors be closed, but the lights here should all be turned off. ”

"Yes, sir. Luo Sijie seemed to have gradually recovered from the panic just now, obeyed Ye Gu's order, and extinguished the only oil lamp lit in the room. Suddenly, the room went dark.

The night of the Empire, from the imperial capital to the valley, from the western frontier to the border sea, except for the most important communication lines of the empire, in most cases, is pitch black. Although the empire has undergone two decades of technological reforms, it is still unable to meet the needs of cities outside the imperial capital.

This is the case in the valley town where Ye Gu is located, when it comes to night, except for the highest platform, it is pitch black.

The masked man outside Guli Town, at this moment, was still searching for Ye Gu's traces everywhere. But I don't know if it was because of the tense state of rebellion or the lack of preparation in their hands, they could only search in the alleys of Guli Town by the faint moonlight.

Following the trail, the masked man just now stopped near the alley where Ye Gu was.

"My lord, there are traces of a sword cut on the ground, and he must not have gone too far, so he may not be near here. One of the masked man's minions said.

When the masked leader heard this, he squatted down, looked at the soil on the ground, and then said: "This sword mark can only be cut by the sword of the imperial capital, and he can't run." You guys, go to the surrounding houses, go from house to house!"

Hearing the order of the masked leader, his men, the minions, immediately picked up the firecracker, smashed open the door, and rushed into a nearby house.

"Who are you, what are you doing?" the owner of the house rushed out of the room and questioned him, seeing so many black-clad masked men rushing in. However, before he could continue to say anything, a fountain of blood instantly appeared in his chest. As the fountain gushed out, the owner collapsed in front of the masked man's minions.

"Search!" said the masked man, quickly rushing into the house, but after searching around, they found nothing but quickly evacuated the house, leaving behind the owner's body with a frightened look.

"Captain, there is no here!"

"Search this house. ”

"Yes!" Seeing that Ye Gu had not been found in the previous rooms, the vision of the masked people finally focused on Luo Sijie's house.

Like the previous ones, they didn't knock on the door, but kicked open the door of Luo Sijie's courtyard.

However, because Luo Sijie had just turned off the lights in the house, at this time, the masked man looked at the door in front of him and the darkness, and he actually looked a little weak and did not dare to step forward.

"Go open the door!" said the masked leader, and one of the minions beside him, armed with a firecracker, walked alone to the door of Rosjie's house, and reached forward and knocked on it.

At this moment, Ye Gu was behind this door, his head bowed, and he was still holding the sword tightly in his hand. He knew that once the masked man rushed in, he would have to fight to the end. Because, from the moment he chose to enter here, he had a lot less way to retreat.

"Open the door, Imperial troops patrol. The masked man outside the door shouted inside, but inside, it was still quiet at the moment, and this silence even made the masked man seem a little uneasy.

"No need to shout, prepare the firebolt and shoot me away. ”

With the order of the masked leader, the minion just now quickly stepped aside, and his accomplices also quickly raised their firearms and shot towards the door of Luo Sijie's house.

The fireballs formed by the firebolts kept colliding with the door, making one crisp crashing sound after another. However, the door, I don't know what material it was made of, did not have too many scars except for a few minor depressions.

You must know that the power of the Fire Empire's arsenal of firearms for the army can break the iron plate thick with fists. At this moment, there was not the slightest sign of destruction. This surprised the masked man, and the same surprise was Yegu, who was hiding behind the door of the house.

"Give me ......" The masked leader continued to attack the door, but behind him, a man dressed in the uniform of an Imperial soldier, ran towards him.

"Captain, the general has an order. We can't make trouble in the town, our goal is to destroy the train and the railway, and we will deal with the rest after we take control of the consulate here during the day. ”

"Hmph, retreat!" Although reluctant, the masked leader still chose to retreat, in his eyes, the order was above all else, and he had to obey.

As the sound of the masked man's retreat reached Yegu's ears, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to put the sword in his scabbard in his hand. And Luo Sijie, because of the departure of the masked man, completely eased her strength, and the tension just now has dissipated a lot in her body. So she got up from the ground, slid the matches, and re-lit the lights in the house.

It was precisely because of the reappearance of light in the house that Ye Gu was able to see Luo Sijie's appearance carefully.

In the house, Luo Sijie wore the Yan costume handed down from ancient times in the empire, which had existed on the mainland since before Yan Jun. The flame clothes of the Flame Empire, especially those worn by women, are in the style of the upper robe and lower skirt. The upper body continues the style of the robe, with spacious sleeves and a spacious collar, while the lower body is a floor-length skirt style unique to women. This flame suit was worn on Luo Sijie's body, and with her loose hair and white and flawless face, it couldn't help but bring Ye Gu a visual enjoyment.

However, Ye Gu seemed to have thought of something, and instead put away the sword, but pulled it out again, this time, directly against Luo Sijie's neck.

"Who the hell are you?" Ye Gu asked, his tone more than a little harsher than just now.
